BAMAKO (Reuters) -Mali has suspended political activities across the West African nation to preserve public order, according to a statement read on state TV on Wednesday.
Mali’s political parties were expected to protest on Friday against the military junta in power. They are demanding a return to constitutional order and a presidential election.
However, the junta said in its statement that activities of political parties and other political organizations had been suspended until further notice.
